Sometimes previous to the last mentioned service, said Engly entered the service of the United States as a common soldier & a substitute for some one whose name I do not know, & served for about three months, in Roxbury in the vicinity of Boston as appears from said Darling, deposition.
In the latter part of the Revolutionary war, said Engly again went in the service and served six months or more in the State of New York. He served most of the time under Capt. Rattles - as appears from said Darlings deposition.
Said Timothy Engly performed further service as a soldier in the war of the Revolution but the exact service I am now unable to give but refer to the evidence of the service rendered, to the declaration & the evidence therewith of the said Timothy Engly for a pension under the law of 1832, & for which he obtained a pension, & at the time of his decease, being in the office of the pension department.

Record and Pension Office, WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, May 12, 1899.
Respectfully returned to
Mr. O. S. Engley, No. 106 Arch Street, Boston, Massachusetts.
The name Timothy Ingley has not been found on the rolls, on file in this office, of any military organization in service during the war of the Revolution.
It is proper to add, however, that the collection of Revolutionary war records in this office is far from complete, and that the absence therefrom of any name is by no means conclusive evidence that the person who bore the name did not serve in the Revolutionary army.
In view of the statement that a pension was granted on account of the service of the soldier whose record is desired, it is suggested as a possibility that the desired information may be obtained from the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C., who is the custodian of the pension records of all wars, and whose office is separate and distinct from the Record and Pension Office of the War Department.
By authority of the Secretary of War:
Chief of Office.

I Jacob Southwick of Mendon in the County of Worcester & Commonwealth of Massachusetts, aged seventy five years, being duly sworn testify & say, That I was acquainted with Timothy Engly late of said Mendon, for about sixty four years previous to his death. My acquaintance commenced with him, about the time he came into said Mendon to reside.
In the year seventeen hundred & seventy nine, at the time of an alarm that the British Army were on the Island of Rhode Island, said Engly & myself were drafted from said Mendon as common soldiers & served for about three weeks - in the company commanded by Capt. William Joyce of Mendon. The whole company belonged to said Mendon - We marched to the vicinity of the Island & were stationed near the place now called Wallriver -
Some time after the above mentioned campaign, said Timothy Engly entered into the service of the United States, & went as I understood at the time into the State of New York. He was gone at that time about three months. He was under the command of one Capt. Jeremiah Battles - I did not go with him -

Said Timothy Engly married one Levina Darling, I was acquainted with her before their marriage - I was not present at the ceremony.

I Abiah Sterling of Uxbridge in the County of Worcester & Commonwealth of Massachusetts aged seventy eight years testify & say that I have known Timothy Engly late of Mendon in said County about sixty three years previous to his death in March in the year eighteen hundred & thirty seven. I have been acquainted with him ever since he came into Mendon to reside.
In the year seventeen hundred & seventy seven, at the time there was an alarm that the British Army had come upon Rhode Island I said Engly & myself volunteered into the service of the United States as common soldiers & marched to Providence in the State of Rhode Island & remained there for six weeks - We served in the Company of Capt Craggin, & Lieutenant Greene - in the Regiment commanded by Col. Tyler -
Sometime previous to the time above mentioned, when the British Army were in Boston, I said Engly went into the service of the United States as a common soldier, I think that he went as a substitute for someone whose name I do not now recollect, he was stationed at Roxbury & other places in the vicinity of Boston - He served about three months -
Said Engly entered the service of the United States, two or three times & did service in the State of Rhode Island as a common soldier, but I cannot now recollect the length of the service, nor the officers under whom he served -
In the latter part of the Revolutionary War, I said Engly again went into the service of the United States, & was gone I think all of six months, it may be longer, he went into the State of New York - He served most of the time under Capt. Battles -

Said Timothy Barling  Esq. married one Lovina Barling of Sheldon. I was acquainted with said Lovina from her childhood before as well as since her marriage, I was not present to witness the ceremony of their marriage, But I was at the house where Daniel Barling's house a few hours before & the day after the ceremony was performed & well remember the conversation that took place in reference to it, I have not the least doubt in the world but that they were legally married. It was in war time, & I lived in the immediate neighborhood - Said Timothy & Lovina have always lived together as husband & wife & have had twelve or fourteen children -
